  1. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    Weebils-Wobble replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So are Supreme Court appointees, declarations of war, and funding for the wars so declared. .....You can't pick which ones you want to be responsible for depending of pulic opinion polls afterwards....

  2. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble posted a topic in Government, Military

    All, I'm a 91W in the reserves planning my next career move as I approach 60 college credits. I have been to a civillian nursing program but found the dominance of psychosocial curicculum to be...

  3. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the link, Since I have more school to do, an age waiver is the thing. Everything I've seen says that the Guard can only waive up to 35 y/o for a commission. A warrant officer goes up to...

  4. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    Weebils-Wobble replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Kevin, Bob, Excellent response to political terrorism. Congress is ultimately responsible for funding our military anyway. If the troops don't have body armor or anything else, blame the in-fighting...

  5. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    I guess I had the wrong impression. I thought I had a straight-forward question. I tried to not put anything too controversial in it but wanted to provide a little background information. The only...

  6. Age Discrimination

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government, Military

    46 1/2? Where can I look at that info? The Army Guard extended PA to 39 y/o and I'm 44 this year. I didn't think they would have different standards for nurses since they all have to pass OBC...

  7. Age Discrimination

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government, Military

    BTW, I'm an Army National Guard medic. It took me a 1 1/2 years of training through injuries to get to this standard. I was at 235,20 push-ups and 14 sit-ups when I started. I now pass bf analysis...

  8. Age Discrimination

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government, Military

    There is a waiver for anything but you must be to physical standards. Example: I'm 5'11" and my weight limit is 192 lb. Since I am an older male and have muscle, I haven't seen 192 in about 15 years....

  9. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    Well, Am I banned yet? Speaking one's mind is usually fatal in nursing. I tried to post a more specific question so I could avoid off-topic discussion but I can't post a new thread. I understand why...

  10. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    BTW, Is there such a thing as a military nursing school? If there isn't, why has nobody mentioned that? It would explain the lack of response to the original question. I often take for granted what I...

  11. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    Caring for and about patients is not really all that complicated. Not only would I make a good nurse but I would excel apparently. I take knowledge for granted that it takes nursing programs years...

  12. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    While we're on this subject, I think we'll agree on this - whose bright idea was it to allow folks to FLY on civilian aircraft in uniform? These people were not attaches or anything - they were...

  13. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    Carolina, Yes, I agree, I am overstating. I was trying to set a tone. Certainly saying that Army PAs work in tents is not going to give any useful information to an Ear. Certainly if they ever get...

    There is nowhere "safe" for a uniformed member of the

  15. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    With all due respect; so do the insurgents. They want the most valued targets. An officer is certainly on that

  16. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    While I'm thinking about it, Keep in mind that nursing and PA programs are miles apart in what gets stressed in the curicculum. I don't have experience with military nursing but I'm privy to the...

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    BTW, If your head explodes from trying to shift through the military site a recruiter should be happy to explain it and give you a free t-shirt and

  18. Military PAs

    Weebils-Wobble replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an Army medic. The training of an Army PA is sought after because of its clinical rotations. Besides being free of debt you will gain some experience that civillian programs can't offer you....

  19. Wrist, auto BP cuffs. Use one? Have advice?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, ALL responses about the wrist cuffs have been negative. I think most errors are dependant on the technique of a layperson using them but the wrist models are consistently reported dysfunctional...

  20. Wrist, auto BP cuffs. Use one? Have advice?

    Weebils-Wobble posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for not lurking before posting but I have a need for input before going out of the country in 3 weeks and I will be stuck with whatever i've got. I'm an Army medic that needs to take BPs in a...

  21. Wrist, auto BP cuffs. Use one? Have advice?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in General Nursing

    Crystal, Thanks for the response. Would you please get the name/model of that cuff for me? I don't know what would be available when I go to buy one so I need all the choices I can get.

  22. Wrist, auto BP cuffs. Use one? Have advice?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the intel You are the only person that has given me a lead so far. I'm going outside the country in 2 1/2 weeks with whatever I've got at that time. Most responses are against auto...

  23. Wrist, auto BP cuffs. Use one? Have advice?

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in General Nursing

    TriageRN, I appreciate your response and I want to give you some insight as to the( without wanting to sound arrogant) skills needed to operate as an Army medic on a daily basis. Most of my time is...

    Weebils-Wobble replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the response LPN_mn, I guess this sort of thing is completely uncommon. I used the search function and didn't come across any posts with this topic. This seems like a busy BB so plenty of...
